I'm biased toward this book, but as someone with endometriosis, I loved how it's shown and written about here. Evie has many relatable experiences, feelings, and fears it was great to see it in a book.  Showing Liam, Eli, Maria, and others as caring and supportive is wonderful to see for people with endo, and I would hope for people with different chronic illnesses as well.  I also love old musicals, thanks to my grandma, and former football players, and faking dating is my preferred troupe,  so it feels like this book was written for me.
